Protea Hotel East London

... into tears right then and there. Rachel sat with me and we both had to fight the tears while we drove down the road. The kitchen staff had jumped into the bus to ride down and say goodbye down there so that was cool. When we got off all 29 students were out saying goodbye to baba and the others and I waited till I was the last one to say goodbye to him It was a tearful goodbye L Baba took my bag for me and put it on the bus too and then we all sat and waved ...

... few have mastered more than 4. 'No fencing’ (instead of fences) and others have kept us amused.

... den opfattelse af os. Maaske fordi at vi efter vores ophold paa en farm ikke laengere kunne holde os vaagen til efter 8 og bare maatte i seng der. Da vi tog afsted i gaar skulle vi op klokken tyve minuter over fire, men jeg sov klokken syv om aftenen og var derfor helt udvilet.
Her i East London tog vi i byen, eller det vil sige at vi gik over paa den bar der laa lige ved siden af. Vi har et ret dumt oekonomisk ...

... we still had shadows, which was an eerie feeling but pretty cool. We arrived at Buccaneers just after the bartender and a drunk guy had a fight so the atmosphere wasn't fantastic so we didn't stay that long. Saturday 7th we went horse riding along the beach! The girl who took us was this rough lady who looks like she grew up in the area. She was pretty funny. The horses were all rescue horses, some of the girls ...

... the windows all have bars on them (I forgot to say earlier that most buildings around here have bars on the windows) and there are signs saying there is a Pepper Spray security system set up. The room was full of dead bugs and you could tell it doesn't get used much. The computers are really nice, flat screen and all pretty new but they don't get used nearly as much as they should have. We spent a couple of hours there deleting games and music burning ...

... poo. We went into one and Mama Tofu started telling us about her place. and then we went back outside to look at the crafts the women of the area have made. It was mostly just necklaces and bracelets and we all bought some. It started raining so they hurried us into another hut where the girls started singing and dancing again. I got about 20 mins of it on video but they went on for so long!!! They stopped singing for a bit and were talking quietly ...

... but didn't think they were going to attack me with the log. I took several steps backwards - luckily for me or else I wouldn't have been here to tell this tale. They told me "Hahahaa - don't tell the other Wwoofer!" I couldn't even respond I was still in shock! When I got back and naughtily told Emma, she went crazy. We left the next day. In the morning Emma was feeding Uisce and she poured the maize and marmite and tahini into a bowl for her. She then sprinkled some ...

Hi again - fed up of me yet? Huh huh? After my memorable Capetown trip, I returned home to find a very grateful aunt and uncle (esp. aunt) at the airport, to have found me alive and well after my solo trip. The rest of time was predominantly spent bonding with my aunt and uncle, as well ...

... was swaying and creaking as the buffalo bashed against it! Anyway we decided the best course of action was to stay silent and hope it went away. This worked but not before it did the biggest wee I have ever heard in my life - which was made worse by the fact I was desperate to go myself! and then did the biggest poo ive seen, the smell of which came straight up through the floor boards gassing us out! Its not an event I will forget in a while.

... wonder around and take in the scenery. This was again foiled by the wind, as it had got stronger and walking anywhere was like walking in a blizzard! You just get sand constantly thrown against your face, and let me tell you, its not nice! We left later that day for Plettenberg Bay or 'Plett' as it called by the locals. After the extremely sandy Buffalo Bay, the hostel we stayed at was absolute luxury, the room had its own TV and en-suite and you got big fluffy white ...
